Through The Strait Gates

Chapter 33: choice

Views:

Li Bozhi has developed limbs and a simple mind. Of course, he can't think of any conspiracy and tricks. He was very unwilling to be disturbed by Song Lianyuan last time in Yuebanwan. After a few days of sullenness, it became more and more difficult to get out of my breath, and I planned to give up.

The sixth high school graduation certificate has been issued, and he is about to get out of here. At that time, there are many roads, and none of them are for him.

Li Bozhi thought about it, and since this is the case, it is better to take revenge before leaving, and take revenge for revenge, and clean up all the people he dislikes.

Don't people live just to be happy

Li Bozhi knew that Dou Chuan came to No. 6 Middle School and wanted Cai Jing to find a chance to keep people and then create a chance to be singled out. He planned to start with the traitor Wu Tao and give Xu Xilin, who had been shameless to him before, an "old grievance". Dou Xun, who has not been resolved, and others who are not pleasing to the eye have cleaned up. Anyway, others have a future, but he has no future. Others have to take the college entrance examination.

Those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes.

"If you don't want to do it, you can do it. Brother Li admires your loyalty and doesn't force you," Li Bozhi said, "We'll be waiting for you here next week, and it doesn't need to be too much, just give you a thousand yuan, it's interesting. ?"

Cai Jing worked part-time in his second year of high school and saved more than 2,000 yuan. In the last semester, he broke a penny into eight-petal flowers. He literally reduced his monthly living expenses to less than 200 yuan. The price of the canteen of No. 6 Middle School is higher than that of other schools. , Ordinary girls have four or five dollars for a casual meal. Once, Qilixiang and the others went to a county-level middle school to study, and when they came back, they talked about them in a hard and simple spirit. The whole class wanted to plug their ears. Probably only Cai Jing listened to it.

In addition to saving money, Cai Jing also helped the Chinese teacher save a set of composition books all day and night during the winter vacation, and took a little manuscript fee. So far, he still has a total of over a thousand in his hand. This is what he saved from the gap between his teeth , he also wanted to be able to supplement a little nutrition in the few days of the college entrance examination, and also wanted to save more, at least to collect enough travel expenses to study abroad.

The school spirit of No. 6 Middle School was cleaned up. For three years, Xu Xilin had been taking care of him again. Everyone knew who Cai Jing was covering, and no one deliberately recruited him for no reason. Cai Jing had never encountered such a rogue before, and was so angry that he was speechless.

"Be clearer," Li Bozhi stepped on the envelope with one foot on the ground, "Luo-Bing-hey, which girl is Luo Bing?"

A few people around him laughed slyly.

Cai Jing's face changed: "Don't forget that this is a school, don't say that you have no evidence that this thing belongs to me, what if I write a love letter to a girl? You are extorting!"

Li Bozhi poked his ears: "For Coppa? Haha—I'm extortion, my diploma has been issued, and I'm fired, who can control me? Go ahead, brother, I'll bring people to you every day from now on. Say hello, I wish you a champion!"

After Li Bozhi finished speaking, he led a group of dog-legs and roared away from Cai Jing's side. Before leaving, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks turned his head and smiled at Cai Jing: "I know where you are a waiter, next time you have dinner. Find you!"

The weather was not good the next morning. It rained not long after arriving at school. The inter-class exercise had to be cancelled. The college students who had been in a big recess were busy making up their sleep and doing questions. Cai Jing's complexion was somber. The sky is shadowed against each other.

The 250-year-old Chengdu, who had been fortune-telling all day, noticed it.

Lao Cheng thought he was getting nervous near the college entrance examination, so he deliberately teased him. He took two pieces of paper and affixed a mustache to himself. He held a pen holder filled with notes from the paper roll, and turned to lie on Cai Jing's desk: "Come on, Lao Cai, take one to get rid of bad luck. Why do you look like this, you dreamed of Qilixiang yesterday?"

Cai Jing smiled reluctantly, and just as he was about to stretch out his hand, he heard Xu Xilin coughing dryly. The old man turned his head, and was looking at the "unlucky" Qilixiang, so frightened, he turned around in a panic, and dropped a picture. The paper sign was on Cai Jing's table, but Cai Jing covered it with a paper.

When Qilixiang walked over angrily, Cai Jing secretly took out the paper sign, glanced at it, and his hand trembled a little - it said "Sign down (today invite you to dinner)".

"Don't pay attention to him," Xu Xilin said in a low voice when he noticed that Cai Jing's face was wrong, "Grandpa's jar was signed, and whoever took it would have to invite him to drink milk tea. I signed a lottery for him to bleed, and the one who won the lottery, let him treat you to beef noodles at night."

Cai Jing smiled stiffly, ignoring his persuasion.

When people are proud, they can also turn auspiciousness into bad luck, and when they are disappointed, magpies also report their mourning.

Cai Jingjing sat for a long time, as if he had gathered up his courage, and said to Xu Xilin, "There is something..."

Xu Xilin: "Hmm... what the hell!"

The phone in his pocket rang—you don’t even have to look to know it’s Dou Xun. He is still unsatisfied when he goes home for three days a week. As long as the weather is bad, Dou Xun will call him during his big break. Xu Xilin If Dou Xun doubts his whole life, half of it will be kept to hurt others, and the remaining half may have been told to himself.

Xu Xilin could only pick it up secretly under the table, because Qilixiang Jagged and Blood stipulated that in the third year of high school, apart from going to the toilet and lecturing on topics in a low voice, he was not allowed to do extra things.

This rule has been in place for a while, but Xu Xilin didn't tell Dou Xun, otherwise Dou Xun wouldn't bother.

So Dou Xun was still calling, and Xu Xilin was still picking up secretly. Sometimes Qilixiang was patrolling nearby and couldn't answer, so he texted back that the teacher was overwhelmed.

After Xu Xilin finished answering the phone like the underground worker, he turned around and asked Cai Jing, "What's wrong?"

The courage that Cai Jing finally mustered was interrupted by such an interruption, and it had already disappeared. He shook his head and said only: "I want to borrow a note from you."

Xu Xilin didn't care: "Take it yourself."

Cai Jingshen thoughtlessly turned it out and couldn't read a single word for a long time. His body was sitting in the classroom, and his heart was on fire.

Last year, he was blocked by loan sharks, and he could tell his classmates without any scruples that Xu Xilin solved it for him lightly at that time. Although he has not told him how to do it, since Xu Xilin can solve the problem of loan sharks, of course he will also solve it. Got Li Bozhi.

As long as he dares to say it.

But Cai Jing dared not.

Li Bozhi asked him for money, threatened him to block him every day without paying him, or went to the place where he was working to make trouble. All of these can be said, but not about Luo Bing, not even in death.

Although Li Bozhi has a pit in his head, he actually suppressed Cai Jing's death point by blindly hitting the mouse. Cai Jing knew that Xu Xilin might be unhappy, but at the most he was stunned for a while, and he might not really care about him. in the end.

He was not afraid of Xu Xilin, but himself. In private, he acts as a "sage" who wants to get into trouble. He does things that don't see the light. When only he knows, he can cover it with a piece of frosted glass that deceives himself, so that he can "see flowers in the fog" and everything. nice. But once a second person finds out about this matter, his "frosted glass" will fall apart, his so-called "spiritual pillar" will collapse, and he will face his own filth and shamelessness.

Cai Jing didn't necessarily think so clearly, he just instinctively couldn't say this to Xu Xilin, and even was very tense when talking to him all day. He was worried every day, and quickly developed a tumor-like heart disease, while Cai Jing was usually worried, and when the third mock exam was coming, no one would find out for a while.

Cai Jing had been insomnia for a few days, hoping that Li Bozhi would forget about himself after a while.

For a whole week, he would rather go back to his drunken "home" rather than stay at school. Cai Jing thought with a hint of naivety: "As long as I don't get alone, they won't dare to do anything with me. So, this is still the sixth middle school."

Until the second week, when it was Cai Jing's turn to do outdoor cleaning, he was carrying a broom and went to the small flower bed at the back of the teaching building with his classmates when he saw Li Bozhi leaning on their class mailbox with an envelope in his hand. , looked at them half-smile.

"Class 6," Cai Jing heard a classmate whispering with a sense of superiority, "their class doesn't know what's going on, they recruited a lot of these idiot students, and their average score was at the bottom of the ordinary class for three years, which is also miserable— What are you hanging around in our class mailbox?"

Another person said: "Don't worry, the mentally ill murder is not worth your life, stay away from him, he dares to be steadfast, and the college entrance examination is the denominator."

Cai Jing recalled the words "mentally ill to kill," and subconsciously glanced at Li Bozhi. Li Bozhi laughed at him, picked up the envelope in his hand and waved at him, making a gesture of putting it into a mailbox. inside.

Cai Jing froze abruptly, but when he saw Li Bozhi holding the corner of the paper again and pulling the letter out, he made a meaningful gesture to Cai Jing to count the money, then made a decapitation gesture, and turned around madly. gone.

The blood from Cai Jing's whole body rushed to his limbs, and his heart skipped a few times, until he waved two brooms in a confused way and finished sweeping the floor, his chest was still numb, and he returned to work like a corpse.

Before the morning self-study teacher arrived, Luo Bing led the morning self-study on the podium. When they came back from work, she naturally nodded and smiled at them. Cai Jing avoided her gaze in embarrassment and returned to his seat without raising his head. Luo Bing, who was cold for no reason, looked at her at the same table for no reason, and probably still didn't understand why Cai Jing was so "unwanted to see you". "she.

Cai Jing's heart was beating wildly, as if he was going to take him up. Next to him, Xu Xilin probably woke up too early and was a little drowsy. Shake.

Cai Jing suddenly said, "This week, the third model test is over, you should call Brother Dou Xuntao and the others..."

Let's go to "The Grove" for BBQ.

The latter sentence was stuck in Cai Jing's throat, unable to escape.

"The Grove" is a place behind the second floor of the school. It is more remote than the second floor of the school. There are many ghost stories in the school. "Going to the woods to eat barbecue" has become a pastime for the bored children to party and play.

But if something happened in the woods, no one could see it.

Xu Xilin struggled to wake up a little: "What are you doing?"

Cai Jing could hear the roar of his arteries, but he couldn't say the malicious invitation. He was almost suffocated by his unspoken words. Suddenly, the back of his hand on the desk became hot, Cai Jing looked down, and saw that Xu Xilin did not know where to find an egg filled with cake and put it there.

Xu Xilin: "Eat it while it's still hot, Luo Bing doesn't care, the teacher will not be able to eat after a while."

Cai Jing: "..."

Xu Xilin yawned and stretched painfully: "Why did you ask me to call Dou Xian'er and Brother Tao just now?"

"Tell some of them to drop by with you after school," Cai Jing said, staring at the steaming cake with a blank expression, "Class 6 Li Bozhi seems to want to piss you off."

Xu Xilin was suddenly awake, and when these things were involved, his brain, which was smashed into a mess by English, suddenly became too sharp. As soon as the cause and effect are connected, you will know who the person who robbed him outside the Moon Banwan was that time.

"Fuck I can remember the two quarrels in my last life," Xu Xilin thought to himself, "I still want to deal with him, but I can't do it now. When the exam is over, let him kneel down and call him Dad."

Then he remembered something, frowned and asked Cai Jing, "I won't trouble you, will I?"

Cai Jing lowered his head, curled the corner of the English book with his fingers, and said quietly, "No."

Xu Xilin was not at ease: "If that rascal troubles you, don't be afraid of him, just tell me that it won't kill him."

Cai Jing didn't lift his eyelids, and said lightly, "Not really."

Although Cai Jing has strong self-esteem and is sensitive, he is not the kind of tough temper that he takes on himself when he encounters an accident. Xu Xilin thought about it and felt that he didn't need to hide it. Besides, the friction between Li Bozhi and him was not with Cai Jing. It really doesn't matter, I can't find him, so I believe it.

Thinking of that incident, Xu Xilin was a little funny and a little nostalgic. He looked around at the "enemy situation" of the head teacher, and secretly sent a text message to Dou Xun under the table: "I remember that I had an affair with you on the second floor of the teaching. The life-saving grace is here, how come you never remember to report it?"

As soon as the small envelope with the information sent out flew out, Dou Xun returned it in seconds.

Dou Xun: "I don't have money, but I have life, what can I get in return?"

Xu Xilin saw that he could neither let him pay for his life nor let him promise him, no matter how he took it, it was inappropriate. He felt that this joke could not go on, so he had to silently close the phone, and after a while, he couldn't help but flip through it. I opened it and took a look, marked this text message, so as not to delete it by mistake when the memory was cleared.

The two sat at the same table, each immersed in their own sorrows and joys, and it was less than a month before the college entrance examination.

The three-mode test is coming as scheduled. Every time it comes, the school will not give out the grades. The teachers of each subject take the papers and judge them at will. Some of them don't even get the scores, and they are sent back for everyone to correct them. The whole grade begins. Adjust the "excited time" to ensure that the mental state is the best during the college entrance examination.

Whether it works or not, everyone believes in this metaphysics anyway.

The most difficult journey is over, but it is getting looser towards the end.

Only Xu Xilin did not dare to relax - he was afraid that once he loosened up, there would be no end. While studying and studying step by step, he was thinking about who would take care of the family after Aunt Du left. How does one get it done? Who will make three meals a day in the future

These trivial life troubles are not a big deal, but when they meet them, they worry about people. Xu Xilin has nowhere to talk, so they all turn to Dou Xun.

Dou Xun was also happy, and after listening to it, he returned two words: "I will do it."

Xu Xilin was always amazed that "Dou Xian'er would do such a mortal thing", but when he returned home from self-study on Saturday, he realized that the guy was really bragging - Dou Xunzheng was holding a range hood and a gas stove in one hand. The instruction manual, while listening inscrutable to Aunt Du to teach him what to do and how to use it.

Xu Xilin held the door frame and laughed like a dog, Dou Xun angrily turned his back to him.

"Auntie, take a rest," Xu Xilin threw Aunt Du out, threw away the schoolbag, rolled up his sleeves and got into the kitchen, pulling Dou Xun aside, "I won't tell you earlier, second-hand."

Dou Xun heard the strange love from these words, and his face suddenly turned bloody.

Xu Xilin skillfully picked up the pot, as if he was quite at ease in the kitchen, and said to Dou Xun, "Auntie has bought noodles, just cook them a little bit, and make an order code."

Dou Xun was taken aback by him, and even Aunt Du was surprised. He didn't know when Xu Xilin acquired this skill.

Then I listened to him instructing Dou Xun: "Go cut the vegetables, shred the cucumbers, wash the celery and cowpeas and cut them into cubes."

Aunt Du: "..."

It really just pretended to be very good.

Just as she was about to enter the kitchen for guidance, she was kicked out, so she had to get a plate of snacks for Grandma Xu first to save her from being unable to eat at night.

With Dou Xun's attitude of obeying all orders, Xu Xilin was full of confidence. He felt as if he had obtained a degree from the New Oriental. He poured oil, and he slammed the eggs into the pot with graceful gestures. For a while, the hot oil and eggs splashed. You have me and I have you one after another, Xu Xilin stretched out his arm three feet long, picked up the egg shell with the long chopsticks used for frying, and yelled to Dou Xun in the chaos: "The range hood!"

Dou Xun hurriedly turned on all the lights in the kitchen.

The marinated tomatoes and eggs were unexpectedly mushy, and just after they were poured out, Dou Xun: "You didn't put salt."

Xu Xilin calmly grabbed a bottle of soy sauce and poured it into it.

Dou Xun: "..."

The two idiots boiled the noodles into a pot of gooey, and finally fished them out. Xu Xilin tasted the raw cowpea that was chopped into pieces by Dou Xun with chopsticks, and spit it out again—the taste was not right.

The two discussed it and threw a pot of lazy vegetables into the pot to cook.

Xu Xilin: "How to fish?"

Dou Xun held the hat professionally: "This filter hole is a bit big."

Xu Xilin: "Hahahaha!"

At first, Auntie Du saw that the two of them were having fun. She laughed and laughed outside the kitchen. She couldn't stop laughing, so she secretly went back to the house and wiped away her tears.

While they were playing with each other for a short while, Cai Jing returned to his house. He hid a small biscuit box at the bottom of the closet, which contained all his savings.

Cai Jing couldn't afford to provoke the gangsters, and he couldn't solve the problem. He wanted to buy a quiet one, and he would talk about everything after the college entrance examination.

When he touched it in the closet, his expression suddenly changed.

The biscuit box was open and the money was gone.
